Stop Wasting Dev Time on UI Tweaks – Baloon.dev Just Got Smarter (And It’s Going Open Source)

If you’ve ever been pulled off real work to fix padding or update button text… this is for you.

I’m building Baloon.dev — a tool that helps tech founders, product managers, and even designers edit code directly on GitHub using simple prompts.

No setup. AI-powered. All changes go through Pull Requests.

And with Change Log v2.3, we’ve added new features and a sneak peek at something big:
🧪 An open source version is coming soon.

🚀 What’s New in v2.3?
🔸 Try Baloon Without GitHub
We now offer a sample app you can edit directly — no need to connect your own repo.
Just open it, make changes via prompt, and see the live preview.

Perfect if you want to test the experience before trusting it on your own project.

👉 Try the sample project

🔸 JIRA Integration (yes, really)
Connect your JIRA board.
Pick a ticket.
Baloon reads the title + description and generates a Pull Request for the change.

No engineers required.
Just... type and review.

🔸 Improved AI Chat & Code Search
We’ve enhanced our AI model’s understanding of your codebase — so prompts like:

"Make this button blue on hover"
"Replace the word 'subscription' with 'plan' across the UI"
"Add margin below this section"

…are more accurate and instant.

💡 Why We Built Baloon
As a dev, I know how frustrating it is to stop deep work just to adjust spacing or fix copy.

Baloon is designed to:

✅ Let non-devs handle minor changes
✅ Keep everything versioned via GitHub PRs
✅ Free you up for meaningful coding
✅ Speed up product iteration cycles

🛠️ Open Source Sneak Peek
We’re working on an open source version of Baloon.

It’ll let you:

Run locally or self-host

Connect to your own GitHub repos

Use the same AI-powered editing interface

Contribute or extend features as needed

👀 Want early access or to contribute when we launch? Drop a comment or star BaloonDev on GitHub (coming soon).

🙌 We’re Building in Public
I’d love your feedback, feature requests, and ideas for what you'd want in the open-source version.

You can follow updates on X/Twitter or reach me directly here.

TL;DR

Baloon now supports JIRA, sample project testing, and smarter AI

Open source version coming soon

Let’s stop wasting dev time on things AI can handle
